The American newcomers Nonpoint have
only been active for a little over two years now but they have already sold
more than 250,000 copies of their debut album "Statement", scored a top 10
rock single with their first single "What A Day" and toured with bands such
as Sevendust, Machine Head, Drowning Pool, Staind and Linkin Park. Their
second album is called "Development" and features twelve new tracks that
follows the usual concept of nu-metal with melancholic soft rock melodies
mixed with heavy chunky riffs. They do it well though and the thing that
sticks out more than anything else is the strong vocals from Elias Soriano.
Nonpoint are certainly one of the hottest newcomers on the scene but they do
not bring the scene anything new or extremely exciting. A good solid release
from the band but in the end it doesn't have much more to offer but a very
good set of tracks meant as background music which means that it is perfect
for a major company who wants to please radio and tv stations. A nice flow and
well crafted music that should be swallowed easily by fans of the genre but it
isn't really more intriguing than watching a "Die Hard" movie for the
second time. Stand-out tracks:
"Circles".
